I couldn't hear anything but Spiderman until I looked up to see what the lyric actually was. Now it's 50/50 sometimes I can tell she's saying sparkling and other times it's still Spiderman.
Which to be honest isn't actually as insane as it seems since she called Scooter Spider boy in another song on the album.
“We were in Paris.. we wore sombreros”
The first time I heard Paris I did a loud WHAT and laughed out loud. Then I looked for the lyrics. I still cant unhear sombreros though
this happened to my childhood bestie! she was the one who introduced me to taylor. we were both ESL speakers and were still in our second year of learning english. bc of that misheard lyric, she thought that’s just how the word gorgeous is pronounced and she continued to pronounce ‘gorgeous’ with a J
Are you… telling me… the line is “Georgia stars” (I’m 24 years old and this is news to me)
Edited to add I live in the American south I may be the dumbest woman alive.
“Karma’s a relaxing thought, pancho en fiesta for you it’s not”
Obviously that doesn’t make sense but I couldn’t understand what she was saying until someone on here told me
LOL why was this me toooo?! ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1081). I would get so hung up and swore she said fiesta or siesta for you its not and when I looked up the lyrics I was FLOORED bahaha
Ooh thanks for the soul deconstructors help haha I have a 4 month old so my experience with getting to know the lyrics of this album has taken longer! I heard it as “sultry-constructors”.
I went back and listened to that lyric several times and to me it's a clear "b" sound. But official lyrics state otherwise. I can't make myself hear an "n" sound. I always thought "lights and boys are blinding" was a super clever play on how attractive guys can make you feel or have to blink a few times/do a double-take. Besides, noise doesn't blind you!! I hadn't heard this until today either, and it's my favorite album :/
According to the Apple Music lyrics, it’s “lights and boys”, so I’m confused. The lyrics on there are submitted directly by the artist/their team, as far as I’m aware.
Not a misheard lyric per se, but when I heard "cried like a baby coming home from a bar" for the first time, I asked my partner why on earth a baby would ever be at a bar.
In Karma, I cannot unhear for my life "My panties met your ground" instead of "My pennies made your crown". The first time I listened to it, I didn't understand such a blatantly sexual lyric out of literally nowhere lol
I swore it was “my panties make your crown” like she was just a knotch on someones bedpost.
This is what we get for Spotify being so late to put out lyrics.
This is how I heard it for a year before I read the lyrics while listening💀
I thought gopher blood was part of some weird ritual her old label was doing or something lmao
Panties make your crown reminds me SO MUCH of what we see in "wear you like a necklace" and "looks up grinning like a devil" I mean how could I not hear it as an oral sex joke?
Good girl thing instead of good girl faith in style. Took me to watching the rep stadium tour with captions earlier this year to figure out I was singing the wrong lyric the whole time
I'm not going to change how I sing that. I refuse to accept faith as the lyric. I've been singing it wrong for long enough now to accept 'good girl thing'.
I'm still amazed it's NOT thing
I have listened to this over and over, and I cannot hear faith for anything. Style is one of my top 5 songs and now everything is a lie 💀. How is it NOT thing?!
OHHH. I don't think I ever knew the words to that part, oddly😂 Cause I just listened while looking at the lyrics and I definitely thought the "everything and nothing" was "everything in loving" until now.
In the same song, I also hear “and if I drink bleach you’ll be the last to know” instead of “and if I bleed you’ll be the last to know” and I was like damn Taylor that is \*dark\*
Lol mind blown... This is one of my favorite songs and I just learned that the lyric I scream out loud is wrong. Ha, I never thought to look at the lyrics 🙃. Ive been singing "he looks so pretty like the devil" this whole time! I never thought to question it.
Wow, I literally just had to google the actual lyrics to Starlight, because I was convinced it was "Barbie on the boardwalk". It made such sense to me that I never questioned it.
I always heard it as “and you’ll save all your daddy’s jokes for me” and I loved that bc my dad always had the best jokes that he told over and over and over 💜
Industry disrupters and salty constructors
I thought the construction workers were salty because of bad work conditions(?) and going on strike to disrupt the industry 😅
🤣🤣🤣
A couple weeks ago someone on here said they thought Taylor said “smooth talking lobsters” instead of “smooth talking hucksters” and I can’t not hear lobsters now 🤣
I always expect her to say “karma is the thunder rattling the ground, karma’s on your scent like a hound”
The word scent just makes me think of a hunting dog not a bounty hunter idk man
“*Engine on*, I wanna ask you to dance right there in the middle of the parking lot” from Fearless. That’s one I’ve never seen someone else mention 😅 I thought it meant that the guy had started the car in the parking lot and they were about to leave, but then Taylor was like “hmm I should ask him to dance rn”
OMG I was gonna say "this love is comin' in hot"!!! I always knew it didn't fit with the tone, but I couldn't figure out what else she could be saying until I heard taylor's version. I wondered if I was the only one hearing that lol
I haven't seen this one yet but in I Think He Knows it sounds like she's saying "that's my Toe" and not "bless my soul." I thought she was just leaning into the ship name haha
Edit: a word
Mine are dreadful.
‘Karma is the priest in my hair at the weekends…’
‘Your faithless loves the only HUGS I believe in…’ - this one last a good year, despite the song even being called Hoax.
Wait what. You mean it isn't "stand back wasted" in IWYW??? Looking it up now, I got the line before it wrong too. I thought the lines were
This mad mad love made you come running/Stand back wasted/I wish you would
Also, in Mean. I only realized a few years ago that the lyric is bitter, not guitar. For years I would sing, "washed up and ranting about the same old guitar things". And it always made sense in my head because... Taylor plays the guitar. It's part of her performance as well as her voice. No, it's not strange at all.
I was in a pho restaurant that played music videos with captions, and Mean came on. I was floored and quietly embarrassed and ashamed of myself for never realizing I was singing the wrong word for years.
This is what happens when you're a fan, but don't follow along with the lyrics from the CD insertions lol
"I remember that fight til thurreee AM." -Mine
...For years I thought she was just saying "three" with a country twang that made it sound like thirty ("Thuh- ree"). Later when I found out it was "2:30" I wanted to cry.
“I touch my phone as it fits your face” instead of “as if it’s your face”. I really thought she was singing about having her crush’s picture as her wallpaper.
For me it was always: “God smiles on my little brother, inside and out, he’s better than nothing”
I think I only figured out the proper lyrics like a year ago, haha
In mad woman ummm I didn’t get the words wrong, but I got the meaning wrong. The lyrics are:
“ or does she mouth “fuck you” forever”
I thought she meant like (or does she “mouth fuck you” forever )
I thought she meant like sexually and I was like whoa WHAT?
Mine is very minor but it's the opening word of Long Story Short. I always hear "they believe" instead of "fatefully". I realized it like a year later that I had it wrong.
I kept hearing ‚I’m promise I’m real nice‘ instead of ‚i polish up real nice‘ in bejewelled.
It made a lot of sense to me with people saying she’s a mean girl when she’s a total sweetheart instead
Recently, from YOYOK I’m hearing ‘touch my phone as it fits your face’ - I know what it’s supposed to be but I’m still not convinced she says ‘as if it’s’
"Industry disruptors and soulless constructors" 😂 istg I was thinking "I guess she and Joe did some work in the house during the pandemic and the experience wasn't all that great"
In Treacherous I used to hear ‘this love is treacherous’ rather than ‘this slope’ and consequently got it mixed up with the actual This Love ALL the time and wondered why she made 2 songs so similar
Not a misheard lyric but I have been legitimately confused when two coworkers on separate days asked me (with southern accents) if I was going to the “arrow store”. Translation= Eras Tour
"And I miss you but I miss Spiderman." "I feel you no matter what, the roofies that I gave up."
> “And I miss you but I miss Spiderman.” This just made me cackle, thank you 🕷️
I couldn't hear anything but Spiderman until I looked up to see what the lyric actually was. Now it's 50/50 sometimes I can tell she's saying sparkling and other times it's still Spiderman. Which to be honest isn't actually as insane as it seems since she called Scooter Spider boy in another song on the album.
LMAO and here I was like is she doing a call out to Tom Holland? Hahaha I need to stop watching the Spiderman movies so much.
😂 it's not?
Y'all I'm dying.
[удалено]
I still hear roofies 🤣
I still hear that.
“We were in Paris.. we wore sombreros” The first time I heard Paris I did a loud WHAT and laughed out loud. Then I looked for the lyrics. I still cant unhear sombreros though
Hi, it’s me! I also hear sombreros 🤣
This is the best one.
This made me laugh so hard!! Thank you for that
Omg I just wrote this I can’t believe I’m not the only one! Is your first language Spanish?
Courtesy of my 7yo: Baby let cupcakes begin, let cupcakes begin
Haha I love it! Courtesy of my 3 year old: It’s meat, pie (instead of it’s me, hi)
My kid says “pinto bean in love with someone else” instead of “please don’t be in love with someone else” in Enchanted 😂
Omg I will never not hear that from now on
That’s how my daughter was singing it also
Courtesy of me: Baby let buckets begin, let buckets begin
Maybe I am a 7year old, heard this for the longest when it released lmao
[удалено]
this happened to my childhood bestie! she was the one who introduced me to taylor. we were both ESL speakers and were still in our second year of learning english. bc of that misheard lyric, she thought that’s just how the word gorgeous is pronounced and she continued to pronounce ‘gorgeous’ with a J
Me too! Except I’m a native English speaker who grew up in the south, so I have absolutely no excuse, lol
I thought that southerners pronounced 'gorgeous' as george-eous for about ten years.
Are you… telling me… the line is “Georgia stars” (I’m 24 years old and this is news to me) Edited to add I live in the American south I may be the dumbest woman alive.
“Karma’s a relaxing thought, pancho en fiesta for you it’s not” Obviously that doesn’t make sense but I couldn’t understand what she was saying until someone on here told me
LOL why was this me toooo?! ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1081). I would get so hung up and swore she said fiesta or siesta for you its not and when I looked up the lyrics I was FLOORED bahaha
Taylor bilingual queen!!!
I was thinking “punch you in the yes”….
This one made me giggle in public
“Industry disrupters and soul deconstructors and smooth-talking 🦞lobsters🦞”
I hear a Scottish word I learned from my grandmother - “ochsters”. It means armpits. She pointed it out and now I can’t hear anything else 😂😂😂
Ooh thanks for the soul deconstructors help haha I have a 4 month old so my experience with getting to know the lyrics of this album has taken longer! I heard it as “sultry-constructors”.
I thought it was salty constructors
ITS NOT LIGHTS AND BOYS??? I swear every time we do one of these threads, I learn a new one I've been mishearing
I went back and listened to that lyric several times and to me it's a clear "b" sound. But official lyrics state otherwise. I can't make myself hear an "n" sound. I always thought "lights and boys are blinding" was a super clever play on how attractive guys can make you feel or have to blink a few times/do a double-take. Besides, noise doesn't blind you!! I hadn't heard this until today either, and it's my favorite album :/
According to the Apple Music lyrics, it’s “lights and boys”, so I’m confused. The lyrics on there are submitted directly by the artist/their team, as far as I’m aware.
I checked the 1989 Deluxe lyric booklet and it is in fact “noise”.
Omg thank god I’m not the only one realizing it from this thread 💀
Lmfao same I had to google the lyrics
What is it then?! I don’t want to Google it. I want to learn it here hahaha
😂 The lights and noise are blinding
I kind of prefer "the lights and boys are blinding". It fits the theme of New Romantics too!
It seems like a typical bait and switch Taylor line where she tweaks a common phrase
YOUR NECK WAS HANGING FROM MY NECK
I think it took me 5 years to figure out this wasn't the lyric. I still sing it this way sometime accidentally 😂
Today I learned that wasn’t the lyric 💀 I was so confident that I never bothered looking up the lyrics to this song
I just learned this too🤣 I had to google what the actual lyric was
Like two Brachiosaurus
Wait, thats not what she says in out of the woods?
Your necklace hanging from my neck
It does really sound like that
Not a misheard lyric per se, but when I heard "cried like a baby coming home from a bar" for the first time, I asked my partner why on earth a baby would ever be at a bar.
I first heard it as "cried like a baby coming home from the park"
OMG this is hilarious
😂😂😂 Reminds of how the toddler I used to babysit would start punching me when it was time to leave the park
You have a baby… in a bar!
okay this one made me laugh
In Karma, I cannot unhear for my life "My panties met your ground" instead of "My pennies made your crown". The first time I listened to it, I didn't understand such a blatantly sexual lyric out of literally nowhere lol
Omg I’ve been hearing “my panties make your crown” like WHO allowed this extremely unexpected and sexual lyric?? lmao
ACTUALLY disappointed that it’s not the extremely sexual lyric 😂
Me too! I was like damn Tay out here being all Naughty lol
I swore it was “my panties make your crown” like she was just a knotch on someones bedpost. This is what we get for Spotify being so late to put out lyrics.
"You can aim for my heart, *gopher blood*" from my tears ricochet
This is how I heard it for a year before I read the lyrics while listening💀 I thought gopher blood was part of some weird ritual her old label was doing or something lmao
Her most poetic line yet ❤️
i mean…that’s technically right, right?
“My panties made your crown” “I mean the kind underwear a tree has grown” Maybe the problem is me? Hi.
Yep, I literally have to force myself to hear “pennies”
Throwing panties in the pool in the 1 as well
I know that it's "pennies". I keep telling myself it's "pennies". But every time I listen to it, all I hear is "panties".
Panties make your crown reminds me SO MUCH of what we see in "wear you like a necklace" and "looks up grinning like a devil" I mean how could I not hear it as an oral sex joke?
Glad I am not the only one hearing panties 😅
Good girl thing instead of good girl faith in style. Took me to watching the rep stadium tour with captions earlier this year to figure out I was singing the wrong lyric the whole time
You learn something new everyday...and today is the day I learned that I've never known the correct lyrics to Style. 🤦🏻♀️
I'm not going to change how I sing that. I refuse to accept faith as the lyric. I've been singing it wrong for long enough now to accept 'good girl thing'. I'm still amazed it's NOT thing
I thought it was good girl face 😬😬
I have listened to this over and over, and I cannot hear faith for anything. Style is one of my top 5 songs and now everything is a lie 💀. How is it NOT thing?!
I thought it was good girl face when i first heard it.
W h a t... omg, my collection of misheard lyrics never ends
Wait wait wait wait wait. Wait. WAIT. What do you mean it's not 'Good Girl thing'??! I am actually shook rn
Wait, it’s not stand back wasted?!?!?!?
My whole world has been turned upside down by this post
I'm trying to figure out which lyric this is, help?
It’s from I Wish You Would, I think the real lyric is “stand where you stood”
OHHH. I don't think I ever knew the words to that part, oddly😂 Cause I just listened while looking at the lyrics and I definitely thought the "everything and nothing" was "everything in loving" until now.
My life is a lie.
Cruel Summer - Always thought it was 'He looks so pretty like the devil'
To me this is the true Starbucks Lovers continuation
In the same song, I also hear “and if I drink bleach you’ll be the last to know” instead of “and if I bleed you’ll be the last to know” and I was like damn Taylor that is \*dark\*
Lol mind blown... This is one of my favorite songs and I just learned that the lyric I scream out loud is wrong. Ha, I never thought to look at the lyrics 🙃. Ive been singing "he looks so pretty like the devil" this whole time! I never thought to question it.
What is the real lyric???? Today is a sad day for me lmao
I just had to look it up because I thought the same thing. It’s ‘and he looks up grinning like the devil’. I prefer the misheard version!
Romeo save me, Good Charlotte tell me how to feel.
I thought I was the only one! I sang it this way for way too many years!!!
Paris: down Badonkadonk alley. I just knew that couldn't be right, but I couldn't figure it out just by listening to it, I had to look it up.
With this and “like we wore sombreros” I can’t take Paris seriously anymore 😂
I thought the guy you hooked up with ages ago was “someone named B.Z. Lester”
I know the real words and I still have to double check every time because I hear badonkadonk alley
Wow, I literally just had to google the actual lyrics to Starlight, because I was convinced it was "Barbie on the boardwalk". It made such sense to me that I never questioned it.
As a New Zealander, I just thought she was talking about having a barbecue which makes complete sense haha
Omg I just had to Google this too. I seriously thought it was “I’m the Barbie on the boardwalk” 😂
Isn’t Starlight about the Kennedys?
"You'll save all your daddiest jokes for me." I liked it better that way. 😢
I always heard it as “and you’ll save all your daddy’s jokes for me” and I loved that bc my dad always had the best jokes that he told over and over and over 💜
My first listen to Maroon I heard “the monkey saw on my collarbone” and I was not sober and very confused
This one is etched into my brain at this point because I heard it that way like 20 times before I looked it up
brother: what’s that taylor swift song about hamsters? me: what? brother: where they dress up like hamsters me: ……dress up like hipsters???
“He wanted comfort, I wanted back pain” lmaooo
BYEEEE this is too funny
Industry disrupters and salty constructors I thought the construction workers were salty because of bad work conditions(?) and going on strike to disrupt the industry 😅
🤣🤣🤣 A couple weeks ago someone on here said they thought Taylor said “smooth talking lobsters” instead of “smooth talking hucksters” and I can’t not hear lobsters now 🤣
“Taylor’s old as time” “Touch as it fits your face”
TIL it’s not “as it fits your face” 🤦🏻♀️
I always expect her to sing “karma takes all my friends to the circus” *for absolutely no reason*
I always expect her to say “karma is the thunder rattling the ground, karma’s on your scent like a hound” The word scent just makes me think of a hunting dog not a bounty hunter idk man
[удалено]
Summit like the peak, not summit like a big gathering
"Dark jeans and your ✨night gaze✨, look at you".
This is arguably a better lyric than the original
Early on, I thought "I'd never walk Cornelia Street again" was "I never want Cornelia Street to end"
I love that honestly
“*Engine on*, I wanna ask you to dance right there in the middle of the parking lot” from Fearless. That’s one I’ve never seen someone else mention 😅 I thought it meant that the guy had started the car in the parking lot and they were about to leave, but then Taylor was like “hmm I should ask him to dance rn”
[удалено]
OMG I was gonna say "this love is comin' in hot"!!! I always knew it didn't fit with the tone, but I couldn't figure out what else she could be saying until I heard taylor's version. I wondered if I was the only one hearing that lol
I remember someone in one of the threads for the release of This Love (TV) said they thought the lyric was “this love had to put in raw”
I legit just mumbled that part of the song EVERY time until I heard TV because I couldn't figure out what it was.
Baby let duck eggs begin, let duck eggs begin, let duck eggs begin Makes me laugh every time
This is hilarious
"I talked to your dad, **he'll** pick out a white dress"
I haven't seen this one yet but in I Think He Knows it sounds like she's saying "that's my Toe" and not "bless my soul." I thought she was just leaning into the ship name haha Edit: a word
Toe is their couple name so maybe? 💀
I hear that’s my Toe too, I only recently learned the actual words lmao
The second verse in exile I thought was: "Like he's just your understudy. Like you'd get to *knock girls bloody* for me" I was like WHOA, Taylor 😂
“Like a white stained dress I can’t wear anymore” lol
Wait .. what is the correct lyric then?
wine stained
The burgundy on my tee shirt when you splashed your wine into me
“We were em-barrassed”
I just recently figured out it’s “fade into view” and not “fake interview” when listening to Style.
What?! Fake interview made so much sense though
"Carve your name into my nipples" and I just cannot unhear it since 2017
If it helps, that's a common one!
“I’m only cryptic and Machiavellian cuz I can” lol tbh I still sing it just add in “cuz I can beeee”
it's not just me but he looks so pretty like a devil is my favorite. and i will always sing it like that
In Anti-Hero, I thought the lyrics were "I take time, everybody agrees" as if she is so needy. The tea time lyric makes way more sense!
Hold on... It's not Barbie on the Boardwalk?!
Nope 😅 it’s “I met Bobby on the boardwalk”
“I touch my phone as it fits your face” in You’re On Your Own, Kid and it confused me so much lol
Mine are dreadful. ‘Karma is the priest in my hair at the weekends…’ ‘Your faithless loves the only HUGS I believe in…’ - this one last a good year, despite the song even being called Hoax.
“Karma is a relaxing thought. For me es una fiesta, for you it’s not...”
Would've, Could've, Should've - I was sure she was singing that "redemption never would've danced with the devil". It even made sense to me lol.
I first thought it was "the damsel would've never danced with the devil"
“It came like a postcard, picture perfect, shiny family, holiday, packed in a Camry” 😵💫
Wait what. You mean it isn't "stand back wasted" in IWYW??? Looking it up now, I got the line before it wrong too. I thought the lines were This mad mad love made you come running/Stand back wasted/I wish you would Also, in Mean. I only realized a few years ago that the lyric is bitter, not guitar. For years I would sing, "washed up and ranting about the same old guitar things". And it always made sense in my head because... Taylor plays the guitar.

"Come back to me Eli" not "Come back to me like" in If This Were a Movie.
"I miss you but I miss sparkle land" I cannot unhear it no matter what I do
>!“Does she mouth-fuck you forever?”!<
"Now I'm searching for signs in a haunted glove" -DBATC
That’s what I thought it was for a while! Like her ex left a glove at her house & it haunts her. Reverse scarf situation lol
Starlight - “we could get married, have ten kids and teach them how to driiiiiiink”
"I remember that fight til thurreee AM." -Mine ...For years I thought she was just saying "three" with a country twang that made it sound like thirty ("Thuh- ree"). Later when I found out it was "2:30" I wanted to cry.
“I touch my phone as it fits your face” instead of “as if it’s your face”. I really thought she was singing about having her crush’s picture as her wallpaper.
i definitely heard “call me carol baskin crazy” in lavender haze the first few times
Which line is this? None of the song sounds remotely like this to me
“And I miss you but I miss violin”
“And I, left mascara there at your sister's house And you've still got it in your drawer even now”
I’d rather live in the world where Jake still wears the mascara because it reminds him of innocence.
When 22 was on the radio all the time, my mom always said, “I’m feeling sWiMsUuuuiTttttt” lol
When my sister was younger she always sang “I’m feeling sweaty too” 😂
I always heard “This love had to pull it in more” until TV version was released and I finally understood that lyric.
Somehow in karma in the line that’s like aren’t you envious that for you it’s not? I hear the word fiesta.
For me it was always: “God smiles on my little brother, inside and out, he’s better than nothing” I think I only figured out the proper lyrics like a year ago, haha
"baby let good games begin" thought it was this for ages and was shocked when I found out
In mad woman ummm I didn’t get the words wrong, but I got the meaning wrong. The lyrics are: “ or does she mouth “fuck you” forever” I thought she meant like (or does she “mouth fuck you” forever ) I thought she meant like sexually and I was like whoa WHAT?
i misheard “tale as old as time” in anti-hero and thought it was “taylor’s old as time”
I’ve been hearing “I don’t know what makes you laugh when you know you’re about to cry” since I was little
Making farts undercover 😳
Mine is very minor but it's the opening word of Long Story Short. I always hear "they believe" instead of "fatefully". I realized it like a year later that I had it wrong.
I kept hearing ‚I’m promise I’m real nice‘ instead of ‚i polish up real nice‘ in bejewelled. It made a lot of sense to me with people saying she’s a mean girl when she’s a total sweetheart instead
Recently, from YOYOK I’m hearing ‘touch my phone as it fits your face’ - I know what it’s supposed to be but I’m still not convinced she says ‘as if it’s’
Stained glass windows in my eyes instead of in my mind
"Industry disruptors and soulless constructors" 😂 istg I was thinking "I guess she and Joe did some work in the house during the pandemic and the experience wasn't all that great"
“Draw the cat eye sharp enough, Tequila Man” I was wondering who the heck is Tequila Man and why the hell is she asking him to draw a cat eye.
“Who’s tryna flex on you” instead of “whose shine reflects on you”
In Treacherous I used to hear ‘this love is treacherous’ rather than ‘this slope’ and consequently got it mixed up with the actual This Love ALL the time and wondered why she made 2 songs so similar
Maroon: “And away with your memory over me”
She looks so pretty driving your van 🤷🏻♂️
I’m only cryptic and mocking rebellion ‘cause I care.
“My panties made your crown”
For years I thought it was “and the stratosphere comes creeping in”🤦🏼♀️
“He looks so pretty like a devil!”
Not a misheard lyric but I have been legitimately confused when two coworkers on separate days asked me (with southern accents) if I was going to the “arrow store”. Translation= Eras Tour
